ORIGINAL POSTERHello, I am from Russia. I am 50 years old. I want to make a pension visa. Can I do this?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user, a 50-year-old Russian, inquires about obtaining a pension visa in Thailand. Responses suggest applying for a NON-O visa before entering Thailand to facilitate the process of opening a Thai bank account. There are also recommendations to consult local resources for assistance and to highlight the recent difficulties in banking regulations for expats.

Мы можем помочь вам с этим вопросом, но для открытия счёта вам нужно прибыть в Бангкок.
Банки Таиланда значительно ужесточили правила, и сейчас открыть счёт по визе TR или при безвизовом въезде стало очень сложно.
Свяжитесь с нашей командой через Line или по электронной почте:

Sure. Where are you now? If outside of Thailand then probably best to apply for a non O visa prior to coming in order to get a Thai bank account.
